The third and fourth brothers looked at each other and saw the same idea in each other's eyes.
The third brother cleared his throat first, then said respectfully to Zhao Suotou, "Dad, I also agree that we should all go together. It's much better to travel together than to go alone."
The fourth child also nodded and agreed, "Yes, Dad, we think this is good."
Seeing that everyone in the family had agreed to go on the journey with the people from Sujia Village, Zhao Suotou raised his head, his gaze fell on his eldest son Zhao Yizhu, and said, "Okay, big brother, you come with me to Sujia Village to talk to the village chief Su about this matter and see if we can go with them. After all, we have to inform them in advance about this matter, so we can't act rashly."
"Okay, Dad!" Zhao Yizhu answered loudly with full energy. The loud voice echoed in the room, revealing a sense of decisiveness.
He quickly stood up, straightened his wrinkled clothes, and brushed the dust off his shoes. He looked energetic and was waiting to set off with his father.
Soon, the father and son arrived at the gathering place of Zhaojia Village.
Zhao Suotou looked around in the crowd and finally saw the figure of Village Chief Su.
He couldn't help but feel a little nervous. After all, he was asking for help from someone, and he felt a little embarrassed.
He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then slowly walked towards Village Chief Su.
Walking up to Village Chief Su, Zhao Suotou said with a slightly embarrassed smile, "Village Chief Su, we have something to ask you."
When the village chief heard this, he laughed heartily. The laughter was as loud as a bell, which immediately dispelled the slight tension in Zhao Suotou's heart.
Village Chief Su patted Zhao Suotou's shoulder warmly and said with a smile, "Brother Zhao, look at what you are talking about. What's the matter? Just say it! We are all fellow villagers. There is no need to be so formal. Just tell me, and I will definitely help you if I can."
Zhao Suotou took a step forward, with a look of earnestness and expectation on his face, and said to Village Chief Su, "Village Chief Su, you know that we are the only family left in Zhaojia Village."
He sighed slightly and continued, "So, we were thinking about whether we could join you and go south with you."
When Village Chief Su heard this, his face was filled with an enthusiastic smile, and he said loudly: "Sure, why not? We are all from nearby villages and we often visit each other, so we all know each other well.
Besides, you are relatives of the Wenjun family, so you are family. If we all go together, we can look after each other on the way. Of course, there is no problem!
At this point, Village Chief Su's expression became a little more serious. He looked at Zhao Suotou and earnestly warned him, "However, if you come with us, you must obey the arrangements of the village along the way.
After all, more people means more trouble. If everyone acts on their own, the team will be in chaos, and who knows what kind of trouble will happen. Therefore, everything must be done according to the rules and arrangements set by the village. You must keep this in mind.
When Zhao Suotou heard that Village Chief Su agreed for them to travel together, a smile suddenly appeared in his eyes, which were originally full of worry, making his expression become much brighter.
He nodded quickly and said, "Village Chief Su, don't worry! My family will definitely obey the village and will never act on our own. We will do whatever you arrange and will not cause any trouble to the village. We just want to follow everyone and reach the south smoothly."
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at his eldest son Zhao Yizhui beside him. Zhao Yizhui also nodded vigorously to show that he agreed with his father's words.
Village Chief Su's eyes slowly swept over the Zhao family members one by one. He saw that the men of the Zhao family were all tall and mighty, with postures as straight as pine trees. Their strong arms and broad chests seemed to contain endless power.
The village chief thought to himself, with this physique, ordinary people probably can't get close to him.
Moreover, it was not an easy task for the Zhao family to successfully escape from the vicious bandits.
In this chaotic world, the bandits are cruel and ruthless, capable of committing all kinds of evil. If ordinary people encounter them, they will be lucky if they can save their lives, let alone escape unscathed.
But the Zhao family not only managed to escape, but also remained unharmed. This shows that they must have extraordinary abilities and are definitely not ordinary people.
Thinking of this, the village chief couldn't help but nod slightly, thinking to himself that if the Zhao family followed the village south, they would have an extra layer of security on the road.
The village chief cleared his throat and continued, "We'll be leaving at 11:00 AM tomorrow. You must prepare everything you need in advance. If you're late, we won't wait for you. If you have any questions along the way, just ask Wenjun. He knows everything. He's the right person to ask you."
Zhao Suotou quickly responded with gratitude, "Okay, thank you very much, Village Chief Su! My family will definitely remember your words and prepare everything in advance. We will definitely not hold anyone back. If there is anything we don't understand, we will ask Wenjun for help. I hope that the Village Chief and everyone will take care of us along the way."
As he said this, he bowed deeply to the village chief to express his gratitude.
After Zhao Suotou and Zhao Yizhu came out of the village chief's house, they walked quickly towards the Su family. "Let's go to your sister's house and tell them that we are leaving with Sujia Village tomorrow."
"Okay, Dad!" Zhao Yizhu responded, quickened his pace, and soon he and his father arrived at the Su family.
Zhao Chunhua looked up and saw her father and eldest brother coming. A smile of surprise suddenly appeared on her face. "Dad, why are you here?"
Zhao Suotou cleared his throat and told them that they would be traveling with the people from Sujia Village tomorrow.
Zhao Chunhua was overjoyed when she heard this. Her eyes sparkled with excitement, and she said with a smile, "Dad, brother, that's great! I was thinking that I would be separated from you tomorrow, and my heart has been in knots. I really can't bear to leave you.
Now it's good that we're all walking together, so we can all look after each other along the way. The road ahead is long and steep, and we never know what we might encounter. If we were walking alone, we'd be a little scared. But now it's different. With you by my side, I feel much more at ease."
Zhao Chunhua walked to her father's side, turned to look at Zhao Yizhu, and said with a smile: "Brother, this is really great. Our family can be together again."
